it's one thing to see kathleen sebelius testifying. it's going to be quite another to see the president of the united states. he's speaking live during the show from boston, the birthplace of romney care. we heard i'm sorry from sebelius. we heard her refer to this as a debacle. do you think we'll hear a mea culpa from the president of the united states? >> i don't know. i'm in favor of political accountable. it seems like there's not much in washington these days when something goes wrong. >> on either side. >> and you have to give credit to sebelius for apologizing and taking responsibility. look, at the end of the day, the president is the president. he can't shirk responsibility. this is his program, the success. the success of his second term and his legacy will depend on getting this right. there's no point in him trying to pretend it's not his responsibility. he owns this and he knows it. i think on this question of the president and saying that if you want your insurance -- want to keep your insurance, you know, you can, this i

kathleen sebelius is a former governor. one would assume if she knew how badly things were going, she might have put the kibosh on it. this is sometimes how badly government, would. people cover up things that are going badly. i have a hard time believing the president didn't ask how is the rollout going. >> this is the most important achievement of his presidency. you would think before the october 1st roll out, he would call in sebelius and say is everything ready to go. have we tested out thoroughly, the website, the program, all the connecteds. he would have presumably done that. >> of course. have you ever heard of people when things aren't going very well sort of hiding it from the boss? >> that's not doing the boss a favor. >> of course not. they may have been hiding it from sebelius. the question is, what does the president know, how accurate is the information. if sebelius didn't have accurate information, if she was misinformed, then it's not going to go up that tree. now, the question on the nsa surveilance and w

i'm pleased secretary sebelius is here today. she's here to discuss the affordable care act just like with medicare part d, the launch of the new website has not gone well. but just like medicare part d, the early glitches in this rollout will soon be forgotten. a lot of the discussion today will focus on that website. this is an important issue and i want to learn what the secretary can tell us about the problems being experienced and how they will be fixed. but we should keep this issue in perspective. the affordable care act is working. it has been improving the health security of millions of americans for the past three years. because of the affordable care act, more than 7 million people on medicare have saved more than $8 billion on their prescription drugs. more than 100 million americans have access to free preventive coverage. and no longer face life time limits on their coverage. over 10 million americans have received rebates from insurance companies. and finally, this january, the worst abuses of the insurance industr

the president says he still stands by sebelius but a lot of americans are asking why? why doesn't he fire sebelius or someone? this morning joining us congressman paul tonko. good morning, congressman. >> good morning, carol. >> the question still is shouldn't president obama fire someone? the problems persist. >> it was like when we rolled out a plan some years ago. i think what we need to do is get the system up and running, get the kinks out of the system, and make it work. but i think if everybody would work together, if congress would assist in that effort if there's a way to do that, certainly providing the resources to get it up and running is important because i do know walking around my district, listening to my constituents, even the nonbelievers of the affordable care act are wanting the many benefits that are born with it. >> a lot of americans are frustrated and they want things fixed and they want them fixed right now and they wonder why president obama doesn't sound angrier about this and he doesn't send a message to the american people, i want to get th

disappointing to see what has happened with the president and him really being the lead along with secretary sebelius to make sure that the system was ready october 1st, ready to take on the massive volumes, the 4.7 million people that viewed it the first day. that's just, i think, an embarrassment for the president. >> it really is a terrible embarrassment. i think everybody would agree on that one. do you think the white house is seriously worried about the real feasibility of the president's law working at all? not just in time, you know, for these deadlines, but just period? >> absolutely. first of all, everyone can see that this is an extraordinary embarrassment. i do not concede that the president knew. you know, he's not the webmaster in chief. there are people under him whose job it is to make this work. the buck stops with him, but i doubt that he moved it and still moved forward at the same pace and speed. as far as it being a sort of referendum on health care itself, no, i strongly disagree. obama care cannot be reduced to the website. and in many ways it already has been successful. all t
